Insensitive
Season 3, Episode 14
* House: Foreman, your girlfriend wants to know if you're available for Valentine's. Act surprised. What are you doing down here?
Foreman: There's a snowstorm. ER's short-staffed. We're all supposed to be here. You're supposed to be here. You're an ass. Act surprised.
* House: What's your name?
Patient: Hannah Morganthal.
House: You have CIPA, Hannah Morganthal.
Hannah: No, I don't.
Foreman: ... Congenital insensitivity to pain is one of the rarest conditions on the planet. There's only been about 60 documented cases.
House: Yeah, and I have seven reasons to think that she's one of them.
Foreman: She says she's not.
House: And that's reason number one.
* House: Ms. Morganthal. That's one of them Jew names. Ashkenazis are a higher-risk group.
Foreman: On the other hand, she says she doesn't have it, and she'd be dead by now if she'd never been diagnosed.
House: They killed our Lord. You're gonna trust them?
* House: You can't feel pain. Nothing left but pleasure. Why don't you tell me how wonderful that is?
Hannah: It sucks.
House: Better than being in pain all the time.
Hannah: Every morning, I have to check my eyes to make sure I didn't scratch a cornea in my sleep.
House: Oh, God, stop. I'm in a pool of tears here.
Hannah: I can't cry.
House: Neither can I. Every morning, I check my eyes for jaundice in case the Vicodin's finally shot my liver.
Hannah: I can't run anywhere without examining all my toes for swelling.
House: I can't run.
Hannah: Boys can't hold me for too long because I can overheat.
House: Girls can't hold me for too long because I only pay for an hour.
Hannah: I need an alarm on my watch to remind me to go to the bathroom. Know how many humiliating experiences before I thought of that?
House: Bathroom is 50 feet from my office. Every drink of water, I weigh the pros and cons. {...}
* Foreman: You married a dying man. You thought, "Six months, a year, it'll be tough, but then I'll recover, and I'll have the rest of my life." It's like willingly getting the flu or joining the Peace Corps, short-term.
Cameron: Wow, you nailed it.
Foreman: It's basically like a wasted weekend. The sacrifices you made were huge, but they were at the height of your love for him.
Commitment is only commitment because it has no expiration date. You stand next to someone and watch them floss for 30 years like my parents have, then ask for sacrifices. That's how you know the real thing.
Cameron, I wasn't criticizing you. People who avoid commitment are people who know what a big thing it is.
* Foreman: Guilt? As a symptom?
House: Alzheimer's can cause euphoria, pain causes depression, and B12 deficiency causes guilt, along with all that other stuff.
* Chase: Happy Valentine's Day.
Cameron: Holiday that only applies to people who are already paired up. For everyone else, it's Wednesday.
Chase: Wow, thank you for that dash of cold water.
Cameron: Don't get me wrong. I still think true love's out there. It's just very far away, possibly in another galaxy. We may need to develop faster-than-light travel before we can make contact. So I'm thinking we should have sex.
Chase: That makes sense.
Cameron: Despite the wisdom of pop songs, there's no point putting our lives on hold until love comes along.
We're both healthy and busy people. We work together so it's convenient.
Chase: Like microwave pizza.
Cameron: And of all the people I work with, you're the one I'm least likely to fall in love with.
Chase: Like microwave pizza.
Cameron: The point here is to make things simpler, not more complicated.
Someday, there'll be time to get serious about someone. Meanwhile, we already had sex once and didn't get weird about it, so...
Chase: I get it. I get it. So what if I'm offended by your judgment?
Cameron: Then you're not the man I'm looking for.
